2015/16 Election of Governance Board Members

The ArchivesSpace Program is pleased to announce the opening of election of members to the ArchivesSpace Governance Board.

The Governance Board is responsible for administrative and fiscal oversight of ArchivesSpace.  It appoints members to the User Advisory Council and the Technical Advisory Council.  And it directs the development of the ArchivesSpace application and organization on the basis of input from the advisory councils and the ArchivesSpace membership.

The 2015/16 slate of candidates is for the Large, Medium, and Very Small membership levels.  There are two candidates for each level. A statement from each candidate is included in the attached document, sequenced as the slate below.  Winning candidates will be appointed to a two-year term to the Governance Board, which will conclude on June 30, 2017.

Links to ballots will be sent to ArchivesSpace voting members in the Large, Medium, and Very Small membership levels.
